I have no experience with HF's jointer but my biggest concern would be the
quality of the knives. It'[s ben my experience with HF edged tools that the
quality of the metal is suspect and doesn't hold an edge well. Maybe someone
knows if the blades can be replaced by better ones.

Hi, about a year ago I bought a new Yorkcraft 6" jointer from Wilke
Machinery, I love it, no problems what so ever. www.wilkemach.com It's
priced at $299 + shipping.

I live in the Midwest too, but where do you go to get wood that
requires a 96 inch jointer? :)

Did you mean $219 and $269?
I have a HF near me so I have taken a good look at these jointers. I was not
real impressed, but for the money they probably are ok. The fence is poor
compared to a Jet, Delta, or Griz. Some have said the fence was no big deal
because you most likely will set it at 90 degrees and leave it there.

I also bought the Yorkcraft 6". Shipping was $80 to Tulsa OK
